Time Thieves.

So my mom was on the phone with India again tonight and after an hour the tech confirmed the modem was faulty. And that she could replace the modem for $149 dollars because guess what? The thing died eleven days out of warranty. How convenient is that?

So Mom wasn't very happy about this and I wasn't either because do you know how many cat toys that is? Anyway, she demanded to speak to someone about this stupid matter and so she was left on hold for the billing department with the absolute worst connection possible and their solution was to cancel service and sign up again and then she could get a new modem for $39. How about a great big food dish of NO?

So I said to Mom, as long as the modem isn't under warranty any more we can break that little seal that says Warranty Void If Seal Is Broken. So we did. And guess what? "It was dirt, dirt in the fuel line. I just blowed it away."

I'm so happy we fixed it that it's Contest Time! The first cat who can name the movie that line comes from will get a special prize! Extra bonus if you can name the actor, too! (You can get help from your moms and dads.)

Anyway, I love my mom a whole bunch even though I know there's something terrible in her bathroom. I wasn't so mad at her today because I couldn't smell whatever that is on her. I went to the door for a few minutes and hissed and spit at the thing but I have so much catching up to do from being a Slowski that for the moment I'm off the mystery.

Your mom is pretty good with hardware! We know that line is not from Tremors or Escape from NY or Slapshot, cause those are my mom's favorite movies and she know most of the dialogue. Oh yeah, and A Christmas Story too.

Hissing at The Thing tha Lives in the Bathroom is a pretty good idea whatever it is. I put the hiss on Baby Jake today just for good measure.

Gee whiz, it sure sounds like you had the problems lately. So glad you solved it William by blowing the dirt out. Mom has to deal with dialup all the time cause we lives out in the boonies and DSL hasn't made it out this far yet. That's why it's hard for us to visit more often. So glad you stopped by our blog again for a visit. Was great to see you again. We will try harder to visit you more often. Yeah, Mom gets upset too when she has to talk to India. Sometimes she'll ask to speak someone who speaks english if she can't understand them very well.

Our Mom once had to call India about her Dell computer. The power supply went bad just days after the warranty ran out, but they still made good on it because she created a fuss. Sometimes she can get a little hysterical about things.
